The Mother, The Child

I used to think when a mother had passed over

The holding chain on the anchor of life 

which held you tight

Had forever gone

But I am so wrong!. Oh so wrong!

Nothing wipes that bond which starts at birth

With a mother’s  wondering look

At her perfect child

As she traces the face of the

Most talented babe ever to walk the earth

The bond that unites both

Mother and child will always be

So strong

They may cut the birth cord

But the job has been done by then

Nothing can break it

Not even death

The anchor just sinks further down

Into the loved one’s breast

Ready to offer support and help

At the child’s behest

The love that nothing can move

Is heaven blest.

a mother truly is that best angel, that we come from on this earth:)
she does everything for us, from starting to end...and supports us every second:)
everything that i list here for these incredible ladies,
will finally be nothing when compared to their virtuous, and immense beauty:)

"They may cut the birth cord
But the job has been done by then
Nothing can break it
Not even death"


The anchor just sinks further down
Into the loved one’s breast
Ready to offer support and help
At the child’s behest
The love that nothing can move

mothers really love their children. if we think our mothers sustain our lives since we are in their womb. i can say that mothers are our greatest companion and a greatest friend God has given to us. good poem for children to let them know the love of their mothers and also their fathers to them.

Love of mother that involves happy pain of motherhood is unconditional.
This is divine , most powerful and never ending.

Well this just reached right into my heart and tugged - hard. Lost my own mother five years ago and after the fourth year became able to resume a life with her memory rather than her absence. This is truth. She guides me every day. Words imparted which will be forever part of who I am today. Never severed and to be reunited one day. (My believe anyway).. Thank you for a beautiful piece.

I've not read such a moving account-expeirnce-observation of mother and child unity. Sincere, persuasive, moving and beautifully drafted. Wonderful thanks.

Our best wishes and hopes often collide with reality... this is a reality that is seldom broken - but life happens.
